Notes

"Off-Broadway, for historical purposes, may be said to have begun in Sheridan Square on the evening of April 24, 1952 when SUMMER AND SMOKE with Geraldine Page opened at Circle in the Square and became the first major theatrical success below Forty-Second Street in thirty years." - Stuart W.
